Trading away the dance-pop trifles of their hits for a faceless stylistic shuffle, the duo seems to be tiring of itself, too. We’re going to be stuck with the Chainsmokers forever. Though the unctuous duo of Drew Taggart and Alex Pall are probably not destined for decades of unqualified success, their insipid spin on EDM’s big-money boom has become as much an eye-rollingly omnipresent part of our national fabric as “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Most living humans in the Western world have likely had the unfortunate sensation of having a Chainsmokers hit stuck in their head, as gross as gum on a hot bus seat; after all, their Coldplay collaboration, “Something Just Like This,” seems made only to ooze from department-store speakers for eternity. There’s even a goddamn feature-length film based on the M83-aping “Paris” in development. Like so many modern American atrocities, the Chainsmokers are just something we’re going to have to endure.

How To Convert PDF To Word For Free

Want to edit PDFs in Word for free? We show you three ways how to convert PDF to Word.

If you want to edit PDFs in Word you need a PDF to Word converter. Converting a PDF to Word sounds - but absolutely is not - difficult. You can download free or paid PDF software to your computer, or use a free online service. Here’s how to convert a PDF to Word.

Adobe Acrobat DC

If you are running professional PDF-editing software such as Adobe Acrobat DC then the ability to turn PDFs into Word documents is built right into the software. Acrobat DC costs £13.33 per month, although a seven-day free trial is also available and may be all you need.

To convert a PDF to Word using Acrobat DC you open the PDF file, click the Export PDF tool in the right pane, then choose Microsoft Word as the export format and select Word document. Click Export, name the resulting file and save it to a location of your choice.

If you don’t want to pay for Acrobat DC and your trial has run out, we’ve listed some free options below.

Google Drive

If you have a Google account then you also have a Google Drive account. Head to Drive.Google.com and click New, File upload, then select your PDF to upload it to Drive.

Right-click the PDF and Choose Open with, Google Docs. The PDF will open in a document editor as a text-only file. You can edit the file as you see fit and save any changes, or simply choose File, Download as, Microsoft Word.

This Google Drive approach strips out any images and much of the formatting. If you would rather leave this intact, try one of the free online services listed below.

We’ve written the below tutorial using the first of those services, PDFtoWord, which as well as the online service has a desktop client you can try free on your desktop for 14 days. This will be handy if you will be regularly converting PDFs to Word.

To start using PDFtoWord just browse to PDFtoWord.com and hit the button ‘Select your file’. Browse to the document stored on your machine, enter your email address and click Convert Now.

You should get an email in your inbox with a button to download the Word document.

Depending on the complexity of your PDF, you may find some parts of the PDF require some editing in Word. This is possible in exactly the same way as any other Word document. In the screenshot below you can see both the original PDF and the resulting Word document.

You should note that before you upload any files you must agree to the T&Cs. We would avoid converting any particularly sensitive files online.

Though similar to the OnePlus 6T the Oppo RX17 Pro is very different thanks to the software. Here’s our full review Should I Buy The Oppo RX17 Pro?The RX17 Pro is a great looking phone with good performance and a lush display. But with a Snapdragon 710 rather than the better 845 it’s just impossible not to compare it to the OnePlus 6T which looks the same, has better software for the western market and, importantly, costs less.If you like the look of Oppo’s interface though then there’s a lot to like.

We've waited two years for the Nokia 9, and at the end of this month the company could finally put us out of our misery. Here's what we know about the Nokia 9 PureView, which could feature a penta-lens rear camera. Nokia made its comeback to the Android market in January 2017 with the Nokia 6, and we've been waiting two years now for its long-rumoured flagship Nokia 9 to arrive. At MWC 2018 we thought that time was here, and then we got the the Nokia 8 Sirocco. But now the wait could really, really be over, as the Nokia 9 is tipped to land before the end of January 2019.
